You, I have no problem with. As long as you watch yourself.
Why? Am I worth watching? Will I do tricks?
Came across him in this thread. He said something ill considered. When challenged, instead of realising the weakness of his position and withdrawing he digs his heels in and defends for a page, till he can’t seriously defend further at which point he begins to trainwreck, then tries the “I was joking” gambit to save face.
He was joking; he’s a joke of a poster… what’s the big diff?
Huh. I can’t recall previously noticing how much of a pissy bitch he is.
Of course six months from now I probably won’t recall this thread, either.
Oh, him you have no problem with, me you slap across the face?!?
{Storms out in a huff}
Not me. I haven’t posted enough lately to be arguing with anyone! 
You know, for an MBA with a JD who says he’s retired and done well in the market he sure seems to argue like…um…someone who’s NOT an MBA with a JD.
The target of the OP doesn’t strike me as an idiot. Rather, he’s the embodiment of a little bit of knowledge being a dangerous thing. In D&D terms he has above average intelligence and wholly substandard wisdom. He has no idea what he doesn’t know. So it’s not quite the Dunning-Krueger effect.
I’ve clashed swords with Ravenman before, but it’s always been rewarding because I’ve been willing to learn something. In contrast, I can’t say I trust deltasigma’s specialist knowledge, such as it is. Still, there’s some hope: at least deltasigma has a sense of humor and more than a few value-added posts.
Pretty much. The odd thing is that intelligent back-pedaling can strengthen your status here. It’s generally understood that nobody on this board knows everything, Cecil excepted.
From his profile.
:dubious:
Unfortunately, he’s had several threads like that. Its pretty bizarre. Of all the things to have a chip on your shoulder about, theoretical physics is a pretty bizarre choice.
You do, however, totally win for the sentence, “My analogy was analogous.” in that thread.
I honestly don’t know what sentence could be better.
You gotta love his signature move: “Hey, if you don’t understand what I’m saying, then fuck you, I’m not going to explain.”
You just wait till someone doubts ***your ***take on non-abelian gauge theory. Let’s see how reasonable you behave then, hmm?
Yeah. That never went over well when it came from crazy ex-girlfriend. Definitely wouldn’t wash coming from message board rando who isn’t even having sex with me.
Have you asked him nicely?
Candy and flowers never hurt, either.
Make sure to invest in appropriate hardware as well.
